The Power of One Text Message

The Power of One Text Message

Last year someone sent me a short text out of nowhere. It said, “Thinking of you. You are a good man.” I read it three times. It came on a day I needed it more than they knew.

You do not know what someone is carrying

The person who seems fine may be having a hard week. A short message can be a lifeline.

Keep it simple

“I was thinking about you.” “I am proud of you.” “Thank you for being you.” No need for more.

Do not wait for the perfect time

Send it now. If you wait, the moment passes and the message never gets sent.

Who comes to mind right now? Send them a text.
